EUROPEAN states must resume saving lives in the central Mediterranean, a refugee-rescue organisation urged today before disembarking more than 370 people in Italy.
The Ocean Viking, a rescue ship operated by SOS Mediterranee, rescued 374 people from four boats in distress off the coast of Libya at the weekend.
The Italian coastguard evacuated a heavily pregnant woman from the ship on Saturday.
